Old Hollywood Lyrics

In old Hollywood
proud and greed
I left the hose
gathered round the tv

We can argue all that you like
We can argue until we fight
But our noses may have been right

Climb a rose, black and white
Don’t let go, most the night

Why do we end up imitated?
All the words that we once had hated
Man comes on as violent fools
Women are a delicate pool of flowers
and chorus

Short story long
I put it in a song
As the TV was shouting on

We could play it quiet cause sometimes
Be for power for then bein’ right
You could try it
We can argue all that you like
We can argue until we fight
But our noses may have been right

These are the wrong lyrics. I own the deluxe edition, which includes the lyrics. Here it is, correct:

Old Hollywood, proud and gray All of the ghosts gathered round the TV

"We can argue all that you like, we can argue until we fight, but the loser may have been right.."

Glamourous, black and white

Zoning out, most the night "Why do we wind up imitating all the ones that we once were hating"

"Men are clumsy, violent fools - woman are a delicate pool of flowers and cobras"

-

Short story long, I put it in a song As the TV was shouting on: ".. Because being quiet can sometimes be more powerful than being right" You could try it... "We can argue all that you like, we can argue until we fight.. But the loser may have been right"

I love this song. The first time I heard it, I listened to it about 5 or 6 times straight. You're right prilla, I guess Hollywood is not as glamorous as we think.
